I'm genderqueer and I'm getting a reduction - so "partial" top surgery. I'm going from a 30G to about a 30C hopefully...so yes, I would definitely get it. Some folks don't need it but some (like me) do!

I definitely want to get top surgery.
I'm starting to save up for it already.

\maybe i've considered it at length though many things hold me back from it
the money being one
my family being two
and I hear rumour that you loose sensitivity/feeling in your chest/nipples which would suck (imho)

Because not everyone has body dysphoria. I'm genderqueer and I'm okay with my body. I'm just not comfortable with my body being understood through the lens of traditional femininity. When I butch up, I'm totally happy with my boobs.

I'm on the trans-masculine side of genderqueer, and I keep flip-flopping back and forth between a breast reduction and top surgery (chest reconstruction). My dysphoria is comparatively not that bad, but I often wish my breasts were much smaller or non-existant. I am concerned about scars and loss of nipple sensation, though.
And it's kind of weird because I feel like it's a terrible shame to waste such nice boobs that would look great... on someone else. My (also trans*) girlfriend and I joke that we should really trade boobs, and then everyone benefits!
